This is the thing - the draft is when these boards are at their most useful outside of actual gamedays...

Fact.
I learn more about new players here than I do anywhere.  The main page doesn't present ANYWHERE NEAR the amount of information, videos and links that these pages do. 

Man, if they are gonna dump the boards the best time would be the end of February, after we celebrate our third Super Bowl victory. 

Same. 

I've been reading the draft sections for a few years now and they're easily my favorite part about the site.

I kind of wish I had joined earlier instead of waiting.

Is there anyway to keep this up through the end of the 2017 season? It's bad timing to close the forums right in the middle of free agency and a month before the draft?

There isn't really a 'good' time in the modern NFL.  They've tried to make news throughout the year.

[Willbacker]

Wow. This is heavy.

[BOLDnPurPnBlacK]

TIL being a fan of Joe Flacco is why the Ravens suck. 

 

Its those nuggets of wisdom that I'll miss the most. Especially when the people dropping that kind of knowledge somehow truly can't see that their brain functions inadequately.

Did you make that board? Because it is setup pretty nicely.

Yea earlier today. Still lots of work to be done especially on the mobile platform....

but it should do the job for a smooth transition for those that want to keep the community alive and similar to what we have now.

Will we be able to curse and talk about politics on March 31st?

Who said you can have an opinion?

Wow this sucks 

[Sun Zulu]

Followed this board for years and finally decided to make the plunge and join last year! Disappointed...

Oh right you still are bitter about a certain mess mess mess

[Dubs]

not exciting...been on here a long time, always enjoyed the community. Came over from Draftcountdown back in the day when that site had a lot of interest going. Much preferred this one as the Ravens focus really made discussions more lively and fun

Tell him!

[Cville-Raven]

I would make your own thread to tell more people

[AsianRice]

I still just can't figure it out why they are going to close down the board....a shift to twitter and FB is a lame excuse....

[lgcs27288]

How many negs do we need on the OP to keep this place running?

[mg90]

Boo.  Oh well I guess.

 

Thanks mods for the times you've helped me with my account and the questions I've pestered you with.  I'm sure you've offered the same support to many others.

 

Thanks to the many who have helped educate me on many subjects even if I may not have directly replied.  I can honestly say I understand much more about the team I support and the NFL in general thanks to the many intelligent people on here.

What was the slur?

Must have been female dog

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Ah. Your true colors.

 

The actual reason is because idiots like you flooded the damn thing with your constant negativity, and your "I know everything so screw off" attitude. You literally turned every thread into a Flacco thread. That's YOUR fault. And the countless insults you threw at people is honestly sad. Teenagers post on this damn forum and you try and tear them apart. You're pathetic. It shows the kind of boy you are. 

 

 

Good riddance.

Please let's don't digress and turn this thread into Facebook, Twitter, etc.  We only have it for a few more weeks. Let's use it for what it was designed for and enjoy it. How about it guys and gals?

 

P.S.  I've really enjoyed working with and for y'all.  Y'all are a bunch of awesome people and have made the Ravens fan base the best in the world! I will miss you. Sincerely, I thank for your wisdom, insight, comradery and friendship over the years. It has been overall a fantastic experience!

 

The irony in this post. Don't turn it into Facebook and Twitter with all the bickering yet that is one of the reasons the forum is shutting down... because of those platforms.

It's an absolute ridiculous decision

Seconded 

[Gordo52]

Leave for a year and this... Didn't realize I kept the site going with how much I used to post. 

 

I'm guessing modern layout killed a ton of traffic on here. Also over-moderating on established posters couldn't have helped. Oh well. Learned a ton on this board and I truly wish you all the best. 

May we experience many more glorious Superbowls. 

 

Danny Woodhead will undoubtably carry us there.

Lol. Seriously everyone on Facebook still believes jimmy smith sucks, they all think boldin and Torrey and jacoby were a GOAT wr corps and they, combined with ed reed and ray Lewis carried joe to a super bowl. 

They are CLUELESS. The solution to everything is to re-sign boldin and hire ray and ed to coach. I'm really bummed if this is real because this is the only way to avoid that, concentrate a small group of knowledgeable fans and moderate the morons who infiltrate

 

Yep that's exactly what I'm talking about. And rather than reply directly to someone on FB I've written my own comments. 

Responding to how Boldin, Torrey or anyone else lost wasn't ideal at the time but it's hard to still complain and justify given any of their productions since and that's a laundry list of guys. 

 

There are Ravens that left and played good or even better like B.Grubbs , D.Stewart but it's tilted towards most underperforming their big contracts the Ravens couldn't match and that fact goes completely over FB fans heads lol.

Agreed on the decision, arnie_uk!  Glad you picked up on the irony of it.

You will need as many negs as rmcjacket23 has received on this forum . 

The odds of that are zero .

Maaaan.. Who am I going to talk bout football with?! An italian..in Germany..

People are wearing nfl merchandise at the gym but barely know the most important players of each team, let alone draft prospects.

I second those who said the FB page ain't an option. There's no logic or basic understanding of the sport there.

It was great to be here though, and I'm glad there's people putting effort and time in the creation of a board for all of us to migrate to.

I'll give a look at the few option we have and move accordingly.

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Awful news. I don't get on here as much, but it's not because I've migrated to social media platforms like FB and Twitter (and to discuss sports? Yuck!) I still come and browse as a guest sometimes because this community is awesome. If it's the end, it's been real. I hope it is an April Fool's joke though. 

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Just got on for the first time in a while, only to see this announcement.

What a disaster of a decision.
